  • Anzac Parade and Our Changing Narrative of Memory1
    Anzac Parade and our changing narrative of memory1 IAN A. DEHLSEN Abstract Australian historian Ken Inglis once called Canberra’s Anzac Parade ‘Australia’s Sacred Way’. A quasi-religious encapsulation of the military legends said to define our national character. Yet, it remains to be discussed how the memorials on Anzac Parade have been shaped by these powerful and pervasive narratives. Each memorial tells a complex story, not just about the conflicts themselves but also the moral qualities the design is meant to invoke. The Anzac Parade memorials chart the changing perceptions of Australia’s military experience through the permanence of bronze and stone. This article investigates how the evolving face of Anzac Parade reflects Australia’s shifting relationship with its military past, with a particular emphasis on how shifting social, political and aesthetic trends have influenced the memorials’ design and symbolism. It is evident that the guiding narratives of Anzac Parade have slowly changed over time. The once all-pervasive Anzac legends of Gallipoli have been complemented by multicultural, gender and other thematic narratives more attuned to contemporary values and perceptions of military service. [This memorial] fixes a fleeting incident in time into the permanence of bronze and stone. But this moment in our history—fifty years ago—is typical of many others recorded not in monuments, but in the memories of our fighting men told and retold … until they have passed into the folklore of our people and into the tradition of our countries.2 These were the words of New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister J.R. Marshall at the unveiling of the Desert Mounted Corps Memorial on Anzac Parade, Canberra, in the winter of 1968.

  • Don't Shoot the Messenger: Advertise with It. Stephen
    Don’t shoot the messenger: advertise with it. Stephen Byron, Managing Director, Canberra Airport The campaign to have Defence Industry advertising removed from Canberra Airport is missing its target. Denying legitimate businesses the right to advertise (here or anywhere else) will do absolutely nothing to prevent wars and armed conflict around the globe. Moreover, the men and women of the Australian Defence Force, on the frontline in those conflicts where Australia is involved, ought to have the very best equipment available to them. Defence industry is critical to achieving that; and not just a few big players, but the dozens of smaller, innovative businesses that support them. As the nation’s capital, Canberra is home to many of Australia’s national defence and security institutions, organisations and industries. Thousands of people work in the sector. It is a vital contributor to employment and the local economy and the driver for innovation and invention. It makes sense for the ACT Government to be trying to grow the local economy by attracting firms that work in defence or associated industries because it is good business for Canberra, and our city is an incubator for new ideas and businesses that will deliver export dollars to our region. By way of example, Canberra is becoming a global hothouse of radar ingenuity: just this week we saw IE Asia- Pacific win an Export Award for small business; and home-grown CEA Technologies is a world leader in radar and communications solutions. Targeting only Canberra Airport, and not Fairfax, or Yaffa, or Qantas, or YouTube, to name a fraction of the outlets which carry defence industry advertising, is a curious tactic.
